How to view Spam Confidence Level rating assigned by Exchange Intelligent Message Filter?
There is James Webster's solution to show the rating information for each mail as a column in Outlook: Exposing SCL (Spam Confidence Level) in Outlook. This solution allows you to configure Outlook to expose the SCL property to the end user. Unfortunately, the approach that has been taken by James has at least two disadvantages:
- it is Outlook-centric, so it should be installed on each user's workstation
- it allows you to see the SCL level of the message, but you can not create a rule in Outlook Rules and Alerts Wizard to move or delete the messages whose SCL score is equal to certain value
ShowSCL for Exchange 2003 application allows you to place the message SCL score to the message category, so that you can easily find, sort, filter, or group the items by the SCL value.
The application is an Exchange store event sink.
Benefits
You can set up ShowSCL on per-mailbox basis or as "store-wide" application, i.e. it will work on each user's Inbox in the certain Exchange mailbox store
The application is server-centric, so you do not need to install any extra software on the client side
